The Fashionable New Cowardice

Without anyone really noticing, cowardice has overtaken the American public square, and is now widely retailed as if it were the sensible, proper response to violent Muslim intimidation.

Last week Newsday ran an opinion piece about Pamela Geller’s pro-freedom American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) ad in the New York subways: “Anti-jihad ads in subway may be legal, but they lack street-smarts,” by Joseph Dolman. And how exactly did the ads lack “street smarts”? Dolman says of Geller: “As a New Yorker who was present in Manhattan on 9/11, I can promise you, I don’t like jihadists any more than she does.” Then he adds: “But is it really wise to bait them? Right now? After what has happened in Egypt, Libya and Lower Manhattan (more than once)?”

In other words, if Muslims react violently to something, then the proper response of non-Muslims is not to stand up and condemn their bloody madness, and resist it by all possible means, but to practice self-censorship so as not to offend them.

I know the voices aren't real, but man do they come up with some great ideas!Semper Fi USMCVery much an Occams Razor kind of guy.Bridging the gap between "It can't happen to us" and "We're all going to die".

Dhimmitude at it's best. If we treat them nice, they won't kill all of us.

At least you still have some room to fight back. Over here you'd run a good risk of being arrested for putting up in a public place any literature that could be deemed offensive to our muslim minority.

As for the OP your right, I see this shit over here all the time. It's ironic, the same people who will march against the church on behalf of gay marrige will march on the side of the Islamists agsinst the likes of the EDL. Libtard coward scum is winning.

You have to wonder whether the western world will continue down this path or whether there will be a turn around when we have had enough and decide we aren't going to take it anymore. Will there be a backlash or will we succumb to the Islamic Sharia laws?

I sincerely hope so. I'm not hoping for a violent uprising of the angry white man, just a rational look at the state of our society and to address some of the deepest issues affecting us at the minute. The current setup with one set of rules for us and another to appease them is causing far more problems than it has solved but western politicians seem unable or unwilling to even discuss the issues on a public platform.

Do you think that is because they are scared of a Muslim backlash or they just don't consider it serious enough to warrant their time?
